I’ve known this guy my
whole life, and I really want to go out with him. Problem is, I’m pretty sure
his sister doesn’t like me. How can I get him to ignore anything she might say?

Bill:You really shouldn’t have taken that Barbie away from her when you were 5! All
kidding aside, the more mature a guy gets, the less he lets his sister’s advice
guide his actions. You won’t be able to get your guy friend to ignore his
sister, but you’ll find out how mature he is by how much he listens to her
instead of the source (that’s you).

Dave:
Rather than expecting a brother to disregard his sister’s opinion, figure out
if his sis truly has it in for you. If there’s an issue, resolve it. Your
chances of success with her brother are much greater if she’s not working
against you.
